Application filed August 8, 1928 Serial No. 6 56,069,and in AustraliaJune 18, 1923.

.My invention relates to the'jmanufacture ices and'to the mold inwhich-the'blocks'are frozen.

One way erto frozen into a mold in which ice cream has been hit-hhasconsisted in-filling the cream witha stirrup and which is then placed 1a brine tank to freeze the cream. On re oval. from the tank the mold isdipped into warm water after. which the frozen block can be withdrawn onthe Slill'f -rup and parted into the required sizes for packing. v p

This invention has for its object the manufacture in a mold of hollowblocks of frozen material, such as cream, in such a way that I thecentre of the block, which at present is block, and left to stan thelast part to freeze, will be frozen at or about the same time as the.outer parts. .Having withdrawn the hollow block from the mold, itscentre will be filled with'creamof assorted vflavors and various colors,if more ,than one -hollow art be left in the until frozen as a wholeblock, before being pated up for packing and sale. ,A specially designedstirrup is used for .withdrawingthe hollow block of frozen cream.

The mold 4 is 'of the usual'rectangular form but'its floor is partlyremoved to enabie the brine .ways 5 to be secured thereto'over the moldthe openings. These ways extend up too! nearly to the lip of the moldand areprovided at the top with a small air vent. They may, ifdesired,be madejslightl taper, being a little narrower at the top t an' thebottom. p

The stirrup is-made of about wire sides 6 and a transverse plate 7 towhich the wires are securely attached at their lower ends. In the plateare openings'.8 to correspond with the shape, size and position of thebrine ways 5 over which the plate is placed before I The hollows left inthe block are filled with materials, suchas fruit flavored cream orother fillings and flavor.

Thus, byfmeans of the invention, I am able to make parti-colored blocksof cream and each may vary in color with variously flavored fillings,and to more quickly freeze the block from which" the small pieces areafterwards cut and wrapped for sale.- I l Having now described myinvention what I claim as. new and desire to secure by Let-.-
